Have you heard of intermittent fasting? If you haven’t, check out our Beginner’s Guide to Intermittent Fasting. If you feel like you’ve reached a weight loss plateau, this eating schedule could be just what you need to get over the hump. The concept is simple: Eat your meals and snacks within a 10-hour window (for example, 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.) and then refrain from food and caloric beverages for the remaining amount of time. You can still drink water, herbal tea and black coffee during your fast. Try this tonight and finish your dinner by 7 p.m.!
